W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group

The mission of the Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group, part of the Incubator Activity, is to begin the formal process of producing ontologies that define the capabilities of sensors and sensor networks, and to develop semantic annotations of a key language used by services based sensor networks.

Group Updates

Recommendations

Create a W3C community group focused on the maintenance and extension of the SSN Ontology,

Encourage W3C peers to continue to work on the generic issues surrounding ontology alignment and import in OWL, which currently raises specific challenges for the publication, packaging and maintenance of the SSN Ontology,

Encourage the W3C Provenance Working Group to work on sensor-specific issues,

Request the W3C to promote uptake of the SSN ontology in the W3C community,
